Introducing the first of three tours around the United Kingdom to celebrate the launch of new Esso Synergy fuels, getting underway in Scotland with the theme '007 Lived Here'.

I arrive in Edinburgh and take delivery of the car we'll be using, an Aston Martin V12 Vantage S, with a 6.0l V12, 565bhp and finished in striking Madagascar Orange. Most importantly, given we'll be visiting numerous scenes and locations connected to the James Bond theme, it makes total sense to be driving the route in an Aston Martin!

With the full tour kicking off tomorrow, the car arrives with us before we head over for a spontaneous Shmeeting in the city centre and prepare for things to come!
